Dining in the dark. 3 courses of “Asian-inspired” food served while diners are blindfolded. Madame Geisha, 75-79 East Street

“Secret Sussex” at the Grand. It’s a twist on the traditional secretness of the secret supperclub, in that the location is known but the food and entertainment are secret. £35 per person. The Grand, Kings Road

Tuesday 27 September – Sunday 2 October, 8pm-10:30pm (plus matinee performances 1pm on weekends)
Faulty Towers: The Dining Experience. I’m wondering if the “u” instead of the “w” in faulty is for copyright type issues. Either way, based upon characters from the TV show Fawlty Towers, this dinner and a show has played at Edinburgh Fringe, and is reportedly hilarious.

£50 for a three-course dinner and two-hour show on Fridays and Saturdays, £45 for a three-course dinner and two-hour show during the week, £40 for a three-course lunch and two-hour show (Saturdays and Sundays only). Thistle Brighton, Kings Road
